|
|
I am making some 45mm throttle bodies soon and I just wanted to see if there was any interest in these, if so I would get them made on a cnc machine which will reduce the cost if i get a batch made up.
The throttle bodies will need to be attached to a manifold. You will need to make this yourself. I can supply the trumpets to suit.48mm throttles could also be made.

If I hadnt already gone the turbo way I would get some.
For anyone interested, without these you cant make the max HP out of an N/A gemini engine, without assistance that is. |

the hardest part of making the manafold will be the thermostat housing... I still gotta think about it |
